MELIAH RAGE has announced that Marc Lopes (DARK DAY SUNDAY) will be front and center as the new singer for the band effective immediately. The band is currently working on a new record entitled Warrior to be released this summer with Lopes at the microphone. Lopes has been involved with various projects including work with SHADOWS FALL drummer Jason Bittner and FATES WARNING guitarist Frank Aresti. Lopes hails from New Bedford, Massachusetts.

The band’s original singer, Mike Munro, has become very dedicated to his church and has given generously of his time to volunteering in Haiti - Munro felt these and other missions of goodwill would not allow him the flexibility of schedule to record or tour with Meliah Rage. The band had already parted ways with second vocalist Paul Souza and was searching for a replacement.

“We knew a lot of the same people and decided to have Marc come in and work with producer Rich Spillberg,” commented Meliah Rage founder Anthony Nichols. “We are all very excited to work with Marc - he is a talented vocalist and highly motivated to write, tour and record with Meliah Rage,” said Nichols.

Meliah Rage was founded in 1987 and 2013 represents the 25th anniversary of the band’s debut release, Kill To Survive. Nichols has indicated that in addition to releasing a record this year, the band plans on several live dates as well.
